Hi,

I wrote a gtk appl. in which I connected the special SUNkeys (cut/copy/paste)
with the gtk_editable... functions and it worked all right.
Even when you use a lot of different applications.
Probably you know that, but there is a nice little prg. for seeing the
clipboard (and what has been it it before...) named xclipboard.
I used it to control what the cut,copy,paste keys were doing.
